Repentance
Lyrics:Portnoy Music:Dream Theater
VIII. Regret IX. Restitution
(Hello, mirror So glad to see you my friend It's been a while)
Staring at the empty page before me All the years of wreckage running through my head Patterns of my life I thought I don't be ? Revealing hurt for shame and deep lament
Overwhelming sorrow now absorbs me As the pen begins to trace my darkest past Signs throughout my life that should have warned me Of all the wrongs I've done for which I must repent
I once thought it better to regret Things that I have done when haven't
Sometimes you've got to be wrong Learn the hard way Sometimes you've got to be strong When you think it's too late
Staring at the finished page before me All the damage now so clear and evident Thinking 'bout the dreaded task in store for me A bitter fear at the thought of my amends
Hoping that the step will help restore me To face my past and ask for forgiveness Cleaning up my dirty side of this unswept street Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Could this be the beginning of the end
I once thought it better to regret Things that I have done when haven't
Sometimes you've got to be wrong Learn the hard way Just when you're through hanging on You're saved
(Voices Confessing)
'If we are painstaking about this phase of our development We will be amazed before we are half way through We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace No matter how far down the scale we have gone We will see how our experience can benefit others That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear We will lose interest in selfish things And gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations Which used to baffle us We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves'
You're only as sick as your secrets But the truth will set you free The truth is the truth And all you can do is live with it
